When the Sacramento Kings selected De'Aaron Fox with the fifth pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, they did so with the understanding that he would need time to develop. Listed at 6-foot-2 (without shoes) and 169.6 pounds at the NBA combine in May of 2017, Fox has worked hard to get stronger and add weight. Fox looked fit and noticeably bigger at Team USA camp and according to The Athletic's Jason Jones, he is up to 183 pounds, which is no small feat for a young player with a wiry frame.
